i cleared it up 14k was when i was racing.... but for a KW poker run it's one whole week. Tues-Mon. Fuel for boat about 2k, for rig $350, hotel 3k, dockage $ 400, storage for the trailer while at KW in a marina $150 scooters for a week $350, registration 1k, food 1k and lets face it a week of partying in KW gets up there QUICK :party-smiley-004:...A weekend poker run when you live in Miami climbs quick when you have to travel round trip 1200-1300 miles on a sportchassis, plus hotel, food and partying. Just add up the fuel for both rig.

Only $50? SHOTGUN! Can I ride with you fish? haha

I like our small local run. You can talk boats, engines, etc.... No one is trying to be BMOC.

For us - I usually budget 1500 ALL IN. 500 for entry fee (normally me, wife and brother), 75 miles at 1mpg - 400 bucks. few hundred in food, liquor, etc.... I've won a couple hands over the last couple years so that lowers my "average".

On our " cheap" Wednesday pokerruns it is $100 a person up front or $110 at the door. I have no idea how or why but I usually end up spending about a grand by days end...

I agree! Nice to deal with "real" people, the last time my g/f went with me to the 1000 Islands run she commented she had never seen "so many trophy wives 30 years younger then there husbands in her life"

I guess we should ALL be so lucky! LOL

Monster Bash, Lake Havasu
 

I just got back from the Monster Bash in Lake Havasu, put on by Lake Racer, they also do Desert Storm. Like was posted earlier this is a good one for smaller boats like mine. Cost of registration is $250+$40 each for 3rd and 4th person, about $300 for boat gas. A couple of meals are included and you will buy a few. Plus lodging and gas to get to the lake.
Lots of fun and well worth it.

Ticfaw 200. Just do it. Artie

anytime brother! $hit if youre pitchin in ANYTHING its better than 75% of the people that come out!! bunch of free loaders!! lmao

Hey i got that GoPro cam finally, a little late but at least we can get some sweet footage next year! Derek keeps talking about this 28 he's getting in to so maybe he'll be able to keep up a little better in the rough... :lolhit:

Short answer:

Premier type events cost premier type dollars.

Local, smaller runs cost less and are still fun.

Both are relative to the amount of accomodations and climate/location.

Only so many beds in Key West, but LOTO has 1000's.

where are you staying that hotel is 3k for 6 nights?
